Most of the OG's are like this, because they are more interested in decentralized technology than money. You'd probably like the writings / videos from these people: Andreas Antonopoulos, Polynya, Erik Voorhees, Chris Burniske, Kevin Owocki, Chris Dixon

  Most of which was sold to the general public. The sale was open for six weeks, widely known in the crypto community, and even reported in mainstream press after its first couple days made it one of the largest crowdsales to date.

    It sounds very similar to how Russian privatization was done. Perhaps vitalik took inspiration from the oligarchs back home

      It sounds more like western IPOs. Russian privatization distributed free ownership vouchers to the Russian population, who mostly weren't interested and sold them to the enterprise managers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatization_in_Russia#Voucher_privatization_(1992%E2%80%931994) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatization_in_Russia#Vouche...

Chris Dixon has no business on this list. He is A16z's chief crypto shill on Twitter and blocks anyone who even remotely questions crypto/web3/blockchain. To say he is more interested in decentralized technology than money is laughable given his complete inability to engage in any sort of healthy discussion about it. He is bad for the space.
